But it must still be hard.<br />I agree children would do well to understand and accept a teacher with hearing loss. So many people have varying roblems and when we recognize and accommodate we are showing they matter.<br /><br />I also feel anger towards those people from the past. I try hard to take my resentments and send those people love and kindness. But it&#39;s HARD. We are human...after all!<br /><br />I&#39;m really glad you share this journey with us.

Lately I&#39;ve been learning how to stay more present with my pain (the subtle forms of resistance seem (probably are) endless), and it is transformational. Your implant story reminds me of something a prosthetist (?) said to me once -- he had switched from making prosthetics for grownups to for kids. Grownups were a downer to work with, whereas kids when they got their new limb, were like WHOOEEYY! back on the skate board. Ah, us. Real life takes work :) Thank you for sharing your stories and your support of so many of us!

And I can say I understand but I fear that I can not even begin to imagine how difficult and painfull that must be. And for others to go behind your back about your work, that is nasty, betrayal. Not sure if drunk late night calling is the most sustainable way to deal with that but yes I DO understand that this happened. :-)<br />Happy that we quit so we can get an insight in the poor us and change the full, happy person we are supposed to be. :-) <br />xx, FeelingFeeling mywaybackintolifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368335344721960600noreply@blogger.com
